AI, in summary: "easier than ever to go fast. hard as always to do it well". There's a virtue in doing it well. That's what keeps me going and not chosing the easy route - it's the journey and the things you learn along the way and the satisfication of having accomplished, and created.

UN Sec-Gen António Guterres' speech to the General Assembly doesn't mince his words on Big Oil www.un.org/sg/en/conten...

António Guterres, UN Secretary-General, 22nd Sept 2026 speech:

"For decades, Big Oil has treated the atmosphere as an open sewer – and cashed in on the consequences.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, five major Western oil companies have pocketed nearly half a trillion dollars in profits.

Compare that with just 34 billion dollars in international public adaptation finance for developing countries in the latest year reported.

Meanwhile, everyday people are paying more for energy, food and insurance.

We have seen this kind of abuse of power before.

When the harms of Big Tobacco became undeniable – governments acted.

The climate crisis demands the same determination.

Those who polluted the most – and profited the most – must do far more to repair the damage they caused.

Polluters must pay. "

This is amazing, given that, as far as we know, nobody at the base was manning the security phone line when it was called, and had it not been for a curtain-twitching villager getting the wind up & calling the local plod, "our fort" would most likely be a smoking hole in the ground by now. #Fairford

Is your DNS resolver ready for the new root key signing key? "On October 11, 2026 [...] A DNSSEC-validating resolver needs to trust the new public key to continue authenticating DNS answers after the switch. Without it, otherwise healthy sites may appear unreachable." dnstest.dev/ksk-2024/

Check whether your DNS resolver trusts KSK-2024 ahead of the scheduled October 11, 2026 root key signing change using RFC 8509 trust anchor sentinels.

The theory was that a large crowd outside the police station would deter the police from pressing charges, so that Mr Thomas would be released tonight at 11pm. This has not worked, as the police have charged Mr Thomas, remanding him to appear in court in the morning

Jev is an AI model that doesn't write text. It only makes decisions, and it's fast and cheap.

3/23 SOLAS goes further. Regulation V/33 requires the master of a ship able to assist persons in distress to proceed with all speed to them, unless there is a proper reason why doing so is unreasonable or unnecessary. That obligation does not depend upon nationality or immigration status.

Frontier LLMs are quite capable of destroying the technical fabric of the Internet that today's society relies on. Of course, this does not necessarily constitute an "existential threat" to our species' survival, but I for one don't really fancy a return the middle ages.

We can protect kids online without hard-coding surveillance into everyone’s device. An opt-in mechanism for parents and people who choose to use this tech is a more proportionate response. The focus should be on educational methods, and specialised policing of sextortion and child abuse offences.
